- Art changes
- Identity first: the supplied 2019 record and the listed Nintendo Switch-suffixed record describe the same remake, not different games. Consolidate under the unsuffixed official title, retaining this generation's art, Nintendo Switch platform, release dates, sources and screenshot associations in facts.variants. The underlying game originated on Game Boy in 1993; retain that original chronology separately from the remake's September 20, 2019 release. The broad Modern platform bucket does not establish PC, PlayStation or Xbox releases or capture hardware. Nintendo's later Switch 2 enhancement is update/variant data, not another game or evidence that a capture comes from Switch 2. Other listed Zelda titles are distinct games; their existing shared work identities for Majora's Mask/3D, Skyward Sword/HD, Wind Waker/HD and Twilight Princess/HD do not need correction here. Neither the duplicate 2019 records nor another Zelda game qualifies as Link's Awakening then-and-now. A comparison may use verified Game Boy/DX and 2019 remake images of the same identifiable primary-gameplay scene with closely matched framing; no pair is approved by this research alone.
